About Author Roger Snell

In his 19-year newspaper career, Roger Snell exposed cops who owned crack houses. His reporting led an Ohio Supreme Court justice to break the ribs of another in a fight. He won top investigative awards, including the Pulitzer Prize with a talented newsroom of reporters.

As a bishop, he was surrounded by Saints who turned "test" into testimony. He is among pioneers of a state marketing program linking farm families to buyers at grocery stores, restaurants, and manufacturing plants.

And then he reached death’s door in April 2017 and was given one more assignment — reporting from heaven.

His first book in 2009 was about the ace pitcher who took the Cubs to the 1929 World Series, Root for the Cubs: Charlie Root and the 1929 Chicago Cubs.​Roger, wife Linda, daughters Rachel and Hannah, son-in-law Joshua Brown, and granddaughters Izzy and Ruby live in Frankfort, Kentucky.
